Richmond Demands Pause on Data Centers | Oakland News

Richmond residents are rallying against the rush to build data centers, demanding a 45-day pause to assess environmental and health impacts before any construction begins. Frustrated by top-down decisions and wary of repeating past industrial mistakes, community members flooded City Council meetings — even forcing an overflow room — to demand transparency and local control. With nearby cities like Pittsburg already grappling with rapid growth, activists urge Richmond to slow down and prioritize residents’ well-being over speed. The vote on the moratorium remains undecided as the fight continues.
